Did you know your body can’t tell the difference between when you’re thinking about or imagining something and when you’re actually experiencing it in your present moment? If you often think about the past or worry about the future, your body is likely stuck in its stress cycle. The good news is, you don’t have to live this way forever! I specialize in treating chronic worry, stress, anxiety, panic, unwanted thinking patterns, low self esteem, and trauma. While stress is a natural part of life, you have the power to change how you relate to it (and how you relate to yourself) to promote emotional healing and achieve inner peace.

You may find you’re a deeply creative and sensitive person, going through major life transitions, a spiritual awakening, or a dark night of the soul. You want to grow your self-confidence and self worth, but are unsure where to start. You may feel unsatisfied with the way things are but are unclear on what you actually want and what exactly is holding you back. There may be habits, beliefs, and behaviors that are no longer serving you, but you aren't sure how to change them. I’ve been there and understand. My goal as a therapist is to accompany you as a guide on your path of personal empowerment and self discovery.

As a trauma informed generalist, my ideal client will be open to working with different modalities but is comfortable with discussing the mind-body connection as well as a systems perspective. I am most interested in working with clients who carry multiple identities (racial, gender, sexual) as I will maintain infinite curiosity about the many parts of you. Deepening self awareness and making meaning out of difficult lived experiences is what drives me in my pursuit of helping others. Acceptance of what is and an understanding of self is the key to real empowerment. I hope to be a guide in your journey toward recovery.

I believe that we all struggle, at times, to cope with difficult feelings. You know, the ones that have been with us all our lives? The ones that make us feel stuck and hopeless at times?

In a non-judgmental environment, come as you are. We will approach this together.
